Te Kano Chardonnay 2019, Central Otago

An elegant, complex and silky textured pure fruit bouquet. Aromas of fresh white and yellow stone fruits, citrus, apple, white spices and mineral. The oak is as much at the core as the fruit with aromas of fresh cashew nut and mild toasty wood spices. Weighty, crisp, tense and youthful textures on the palate. Flavours of nut and stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon then baking spices and toasty wood layers. Medium+ acidity and youthful wood tannins. A wine that needs time to develop and reveal more harmonies. Well made and will reward those who wait, Best drinking from late 2021 through 2026+.
